International Cooking While on Hiatus

Yes, Open Wide the World is still "en vacances"... but even when taking a break, a gal's gotta eat, right? And sometimes a special dinner just has to be written about.

Check out my guest post over at MarocMama to see what Amanda has inspired me to cook while on hiatus. You can find her phenomenal recipe here. Mmmmm! I'll be trying out more of her recipes soon, sans aucun doute (without a doubt)!

Merci, Amanda!

Blog Update: En Vacances

Ah, I just love blogging. I do. Or more accurately, I just love writing, and blogging is an exciting medium (not to mention a fun connection to a really neat group of fellow globe trekkers). Normally, at any moment in the day, I am probably either writing, thinking about writing, revising some writing, wishing I were writing, or counting the minutes until I have some free time to get in some writing. See a theme?

But in recent weeks, you may have noticed the frequency of my posting has dropped off a little bit. Okay, quite a bit.

Anyone who has lived past 35 probably knows that certain phases of life throw you things that demand your full attention, and I find myself in the middle of such a phase at this very moment. As much as I would love to continue blogging through the storm, I am finding that dividing my attention is getting me nowhere, on either front. And so, as of today, Open Wide the World is officially "en vacances" (on vacation).

I very much look forward to the day when I can return to blogging with the whole-hearted focus it deserves; I can only hope the blogosphere will welcome me back on that day...

à très bientôt!
